Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Falcon Leather EDP
Divisive yet adored, Falcon Leather is a beast of a fragrance. If you're after a bold, smoky leather that commands attention, this is your weapon. But be warned: it’s not for the faint of heart, and your mates might love or loathe it.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Golden Noir EDP
A budget take on Armani Prive's Noir Kogane. Golden Noir captures the deep, spicy-leather character, tobacco and vetiver over saffron, elemi and a rich leather base, that defines the niche original, but Perfume Parlour's version reads flatter and tamer, missing the intensely animalic, beast-mode opening of the original.

Season and Occasion Fit

Falcon Leather

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Falcon Leather's intense sillage and longevity make it overpowering for an office environment, but it's perfect for making a statement on a date or at a formal event. Its bold, smoky leather profile is too heavy for casual daytime wear or sport.

Golden Noir

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

The spicy leather, tobacco and saffron are dark and warm, made for cold-weather autumn and winter wear.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its bold, masculine-leaning depth leans toward evenings, formal occasions and dates rather than the office or sport.
